    The test is designed to pass with 50% however it all goes on the level of question not how many you get right or wrong.

    Suggest a good read in the NCSBN website where there is much written on how the exam works

    From what I've read the scores you should be getting on practice exams depends on what sources you are using. Some books/reviews are more difficult than others. If I'm not mistaken, Kaplan recommends you get 65% on their exams. My husband just passed the NCLEX, he was getting 80-90% in Saunders and 75-89% on NCSBN. The NCSBN Learning Extension recommends you score at least 75% on all of their exams.

    Hope this helps! :)

    The computer program determines when you have met the passing standard based upon your previous answers and the level of questions for each right and wrong answer. That is why some people can pass at the minimum number of questions and others go all the way out to the maximum to pass and likewise the reverse.

    It is like a an imaginary line. The more answers you get right you are still in the game. If the test continues you still have a fighting chance. When you stay above the line the computer will go out and would figure you competent enought to practice. Just remember the NCLEX exam only requires have knowledge of minimum practice of nursing. I hope stating this correctly.
